VBA For Loop populating last entry until end - excel

Question

first post and also new to VBA so I apologize for anything that is unclear. I have created a code to generate a daily printout of employees, equipment, and subcontractors. The loop is looking for "S" (subcontractors) each day. There is only one day where "S" is present and there are 4 on that day. The issue is that the loop begins correctly and populates the correct information when it finds "S" and lists the 4 separate subcontractors, but every day before and after that it continues to list the first subcontractor even though no "S" is found on those dates. How can I get it to clear that entry if no other "S" are found? I hope that makes sense and I have included the code. Thank you!

You will find your code easier to debug/maintain if you separate the collection of the data and the report generation into 2 discrete steps, preferably in subroutines. For example
Option Explicit
Dim EachName(0 To 5000, 1 To 3) As Variant '1=name 2=hours 3=phase
Dim EachEquip(0 To 5000, 1 To 3) As Variant '1=name 2=hrs 3=phase
Dim EachSub(0 To 5000, 1 To 2) As Variant ' 1=name 2=amount
Dim k As Long 'count employees
Dim h As Long 'count equipment
Dim t As Long 'count subcontractor
